Look in Pelican For Sale Forums, Rennlist For Sale, and in the PCA Mart.... there was a really well set up one at Limerock this weekend but he wanted $75K for it... way overpriced. He has a ton of $$ in the car but the reality is you will be lucky to get back $.50 on the dollar spent on a project, which this guy will soon find out..

Call Gary Stratton of Stratton Motorsports in Winter Park, Fl. He's been building them for more that 30 years. Gary is a Porsche concours judge and knows how to build'em, correctly!
Here's a picture of the last one he built.
His cell number = (407) 421-1911

To do it yourself? Would depend entirely on what you start with. Backdating an SC with all fiberglass parts would give you the 3.0L, a 915, good brakes, and a galvanized car (with SC/RS flares) to start with. If you want an RSR replica the rear will need flaring also. You can find a good solid base SC *around* $12K, then add about $25K for top notch interior, paint, saftey stuff (race seats, roll cage, harnesses, fire system and fuel cell), and wheels/tires. Fiberglass parts require a LOT of work to get them to both fit and finish nice. To have it built add another $20K..
Go to the sites that sell all the stuff and start pricing it out.
Then to be safe double it...

You can make a replica that is faster than an RS for about $30k not incl. labor (except on the heads) and not incl. the base car you start with. Less if there is no repaint. I assume you do all the work yourself except the heads/machining etc.
